"Pre-registrants never had a guarantee of getting a particular name". Quite right, however, they did have an expectation of fair play. An expectation of a level playing field against similarly situated contestants. Expectations that may have been unfairly pre-empted. The referees were where? The umpires were doing what? There appear to be irregularities in some instances. Why weren't some of the irregularities removed "pre" when discovered or more disturbingly when requested, remains to be explored in the appropriate forums. Percentage wise, the statistically large scale of irregularities, as well as the possible participation by certain parties, gives rise to legitimate questions. Whether there was a lottery remains, ( an Achilles heel? ), on the table of inquiry.
